Deepa has dedicated her life to the study of Health and the Human body. Deepa's dedication has resulted in a deep understanding of multiple theories of Health Care that she applies while devising specific tailored treatment plans for each patient. With almost 20 years experience as a Registered Nurse in Emergency Medicine, Deepa went back to school to fulfill her lifelong goal of becoming an Acupuncturist and Herbalist. Holding Masters Degrees in both Traditional Chinese Medicine and Medical QiGong she went on to become Nationally Certified in Chinese Herbology and Oriental Medicine, as well as a Licensed Acupuncturist in the State of California. She also spent time as an intern on an Organic Farm and is skilled in Western Herbology. She trained in making herbal healing products completely, from seed to shelf. Deepa became a certified massage therapist while attending UC Davis, and has since been an Instructor and Director of a Massage School. Recently Deepa began studying with the world famous acupuncturist Dr Ming Qing Zhu. He is the master acupuncturist we can thank for Ram Dass being able to walk and talk after his large stroke a few years ago. Dr. Zhu has developed his own unique style of scalp acupuncture that is very effective for all manner of conditions. Deepa finds that the Dr.Zhu style acupuncture compliments her years of QiGong study to provide rapid and dramatic results.
